商品簡介
In 1974 amateur spelunkers Randy Tufts and Gary Tenen found a virgin cave with a "living" underground oasis where water seeped down the walls, depositing minerals that had built up into formations. The two spelunkers maintained the secrecy of this place, Kartchner Caverns, for fourteen years, and upon its "discovery," helped preserve the location and transform the caverns into a public attraction. Journalist Miller covers the twenty-five years from the caverns' discovery to its protection as an Arizona state park, using personal interviews, biographical facts, political maneuvering, and geological facts to illustrate the story. The book is illustrated throughout in full color, and includes appendices of a timeline and a list of people interviewed. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
